Making Connections

So, I survived my first night, which was easy, since I was out (hehe). DH & I brought E to Ash Wed mass, which was full (nice to see). Got her home and in bed by 8:30 and then I avoided the TV, which was on (MIL & DH watching), and made a healthy lunch. It wasn’t until after I was in bed that I realized I had a lunch meeting. Oh well! Anyway, packed the healthy lunch, got clothes ready for work and got in bed with “The Tao of Pooh” (as in Winnie-the). I have just a few pages left which I thought I might get to read today but was busy. I will tonight though.

I’ve been amazed at the connections between this book and other things I’ve read/seen. I was trying to explain on FB today but didn’t do it justice. One example: Myrn was talking to me about my worth and how I have a hard time seeing myself as worthy. Last night I read, “In order to take control of our lives and accomplish something of lasting value, sooner or later we need to learn to Believe…We simply need to believe in the power that’s within us, and use it.” There are earlier examples in the book that connect to. Like when Pooh sees himself as a bit of a nobody, but the “narrator” shows him that’s not the case. “No mater how Useful we may be, sometimes it takes us a while to recognize our own value.” Anyway, it really made an impression on me.

Well, I’m gonna run. ToP tonight…and maybe onto the next book. Hmm…which one.
